Doom's STRONGEST Army | Order of The Night Sentinel | FULL Doom Lore EXPLAINED

The Order of The Night Sentinel were the strongest army in the universe. Their power was strong enough to conquer the universe, and also fight back against the horrific forces of Hell. However, although they had The Doom Slayer as one of their strongest warriors and they were powered by two Godlike species, the Wraith and the Maykr, they still fell.
What led to the formation of The Night Sentinels? What led to their fall? And how does their story ultimately end? In this video, I explore the lore and story behind The Night Sentinel in Doom.

Was the Khan Maykr a villain? Any interaction would be incredible to please to algorithm gods. These smaller videos haven't gotten into the algorithm too easily lately! Like, comment, share, dislike :)

[@CDZRDragon]

Maybe idk

[@thataintfalco7106]

Ye definitely. She abused her power and didn’t abdicate the throne

[@gmradio2436]

Feeding realms into Hell for self gain and puppeting at least one orher civilization. Yes, this is villain behavior. It is not even cosmic indifference. They are an active participant in events. Her goal might be reasonable, survival of her people, but her methods are definitely villainous.

[@sickkk522]

I enjoy the vids dawg keep it up👽

[@mr.radovic702]

Try doing Destiny lore, it's really expansive and interesting

[@samuelantoniocastillomeza5034]

When Eternal released, I was so lost on the lore of Night Sentinels and didn't like their inclusion but after learning so much more of them, I'm glad they exist in the Doom story.

[@gmradio2436]

I blame the soft reboot. It is tonally and thematically different, with a completely different backstory.

[@astral3997]

Ah yes the best opening quote par non, "No." Doom Guy

[@villings]

*Skyrionn talks about death, horrors and tragedy^ me: ahh what a soothing voice

[@Envy-eq6qp]

how does this not have over a thousand views yet? (at the time of writing this comment there was 96 views) from the indepth analysis, to the calm voice as if this was a big budget documentary i always love when skyrionn uploads an explained lore video keep up the amazing work man!

My videos tend to do well over time. I rarely get a video that booms straight away. I appreciate you watching them. Thanks!

Man i watched your 3 hour Video Last week and now this Why do i have the Time for this But nice vid

[@mastafoo886]

Hey. I noticed that you used the classic costume when getting your shots for the relevant bits about the 'outlander'. Excellent attention to detail man.

[@st0nedpenguin]

Just been watching through your previous Doom lore videos, what great timing.

[@thataintfalco7106]

Commenting for the algorithm, I love doom eternal lore. The story might not be told in an interesting way, but there is so much interesting history

[@nofa987]

Great video, finished the timeline video last week and this helped me understand some things better :)

[@CanyonALynn]

Loving these videos! Keep up the great work, Skyrionn!

Dawg your vids are the best to pass the time tbh

[@mordecai006]

This video is a win already

[@critikalhums9784]

That is possibly the greatest quote I've ever seen, thank you.

[@barral69]

39:30 A game set with the Doom Slayer's arrival in Argent DNur...That could be the game they almost tried to give us before 2016. Sort of. The aspect of working with a squad/team (The other Sentinels) and going on raids into hell and rescue operations in the city on the planet. That MIGHT be cool if done right. But It would very hard to make a squad based combat game around the fast action of Doom Guy's combat style. He is better alone and unleashed.

[@drewtutor6341]

Legit forgot I subbed. Glad I still am. Who knew I needed doom lore. Do you think u could do Warhammer 40k? Plenty of lore for u to make great with your commentary

[@sourguy7202]

FANTASTIC VIDEO. When putting DoomSlayers actions in the perspective of the Night Sentinels, it’s somehow cooler than the game

[@bryanjimenez8971]

It's a doom Slayer damn sin that these videos don't get as much views nowadays hope to see more.

[@thelonepainter4760]

Just subbed! Loving the doom lore videos! Have you thought about fallout?😊

[@eondannang2154]

It would be cool to see a video about the night sentinels vs space mairnes from warhammer 40k

[@codymcgrath2.3bviews3secon7]

Another great one

[@boney2982]

a game set during the civil war or even just before would be amazing it would be nice to see pre dark lord buff doom slayer in action again

[@asifalrahman2340]

Really needed a video on the Night sentinels "There are also mentions of them being rigorously trained from an early age." They are literally an updated version of Spartans with better technology.

[@declaration9704]

I enjoyed this. Thanks

[@gmradio2436]

I have a minor issue with modern Doom lore that is rooted in the soft reboot between 2016 and Eternal. It feels like 2 different authors fighting over a project.

[@wearsjorge55]

Seems like it was planned as a trilogy but they decided to squish 2 and 3 into a single game. I dont know anything about the soft reboot, just my impression from playing eternal

[@gmradio2436]

@@wearsjorge55 Before I dig into this, did you play Doom(2016)?

[@wearsjorge55]

@@gmradio2436 I did, heaps. Didn't look into any behind the scenes stuff except with the composer

[@gmradio2436]

@@wearsjorge55 Ok, that will make discussion easier. So there are a number of design, narrative and mechanical differences between 16 and Eternal that make me believe that after 16 did well, the series was quietly rebooted. Rhe suit design, the way it is upgraded, and the weapon are visual indicators, but the strongest proof I have is narrative. In 16 Samuel is willing to let the AI die to get back to Hell. If there is no retcon, this is very out of character as that would make Samuel a makyr and the AI his god. Would a Makyr sacrifice the Father for anything? I am convinced that 16 was ended on a cliffhanger as a potential jumping point for any possible sequel. Eternal was a full rewrite to deal with complaints about 16, and the DLC was meant to be a game after Eternal. I agree on that idea. 16 also references Doom 3 at several points.

[@wearsjorge55]

@gmradio2436 yeah that's fair. I also found it weird that Vega was sacrificed then quietly brought back

[@TheSixteen60]

What about the lore and story behind Scorpion (Hanzo Hasashi)?

[@spiderplant]

I still kinda like "Hell is a dimension with infinite energy. Trillionaires tried to use it, but demons came out. Now an ancient cursed human is gonna rip them apart."

[@snakes3425]

Anyone else want a game focusing on the Night Sentinels

[@SaifAli96]

Is this separate from the complete DOOM lore? Or just a cut from the longer video?

[@Spectification]

A focus on a faction

[@lock77down28]

Make a lore video of legacy of kain

[@sickkk522]

Just wanna say u put me on to doom thx😎

[@scorpion49023]

Have you thought of Warhammer 40k? I’ve just been getting into it recently myself. Lots of cool lore.

Wrong, the strongest army is the DOOM slayer’s army.

[@Skyrionn]

Wrong. The Doom Slayer was a Night Sentinel.

[@gmradio2436]

Doom Guy is a warrior and soldier. He serves in the army. Be it Earth's or the Night Sentential's, Doom serves.

Well rubble is stronger than Doom Guy. 10,000 years trapped in box. Rocks: 1, Slayer: 0.

I believe they wrote this story considering the demiurge and the jealous man God that came after. In other words Christianity.
